Trivia: Getting the character Quicksilver into the film was a bit of a legal minefield. Both Marvel Studios and Fox wanted to use the character in their own projects, but there wasn't any sort of formal agreement over him. Eventually, a resolution was reached - Quicksilver could appear in "Days of Future Past," but with no references to "The Avengers" or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And he could similarly appear in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," so long as there were no references to mutants or the X-Men.

X-Men (2000)
Trivia: While they look great on-screen, reportedly the leather costumes the cast wore were a massive pain behind the scenes. They were so stiff at the start of the shoot, the cast could barely move in them. The first day of shooting, the cast was supposed to hop over a small ledge, and none of them could do it because the suits weren't flexible enough. Thankfully, the suits eventually began to loosen up the more the cast wore them.

Trivia: Hugh Jackman would start getting into character by taking ice-cold showers every morning the instant he woke up. They put him into an angry mood that he would then use for the character. He reportedly continued the tradition with every sequel.

Elf (2003)
Trivia: The original script was written in 1993 and was much a much darker comedy in tone that was supposed to be rated PG-13. It was also intended to star Jim Carrey. However, the project kept getting held up, and Carrey eventually lost interest in it. The film finally started to come together in the early 2000's, when it was rewritten into a more family-friendly film and Will Farrell joined the cast. It was finally released in 2003 - ten years after it was originally written.

The Crow: City of Angels (1996)
Trivia: There was originally a scene explaining that the villain Judah fell through the ice of a frozen river and drowned as a child, and his soul was sent to hell. He was revived by paramedics and came back to life, and became obsessed with the occult after having liked what he saw while in hell. (This also explains his line about how he has "already been there" and "liked what [he] saw" during the final battle when Ashe tells him to "go to hell.").
